Default Raised beds

SWMBO wants some raised beds made, railway sleepers or similar.


Hmm there must be a craze going round, so does mine!

They are going on an area which is currently slabbed with those
attractive 70's pink & yellow slabs - which will be removed.

Carpentry no problem - but should raised beds be lined with anything?

Not worried about the timber rotting - it will be pressure treated. More
moisture retention.


I have seen some suggestion of plastic liner over the timber to preserve
that, but not for any other reason.
